I learned to treat 'feeling like a drink' as a sign that I shouldn't be drinking at that point. Because I wanted to, and as a process over a relatively long period of time. A process something like mindfulness/CBT, I guess. Thinking critically about feelings/urges. > how to get out of just hating yourself when you fail? Realise that failure is part of a process, completely normal, to be expected, and is not a character trait or a state of being (let alone an unrecoverable state).
